A friend of mine is playing them with 15mm and it works a treat, he's just replacing inches with cms.

We will open a sub forum for these rules just here (hence the studio tomahawk name of the adress of the forum actually).

Thanks. A common quote for gamers should be 'I can resist everything but temptation' and thus true to form North Star have my order already...I look forward to seeing the sub-forum when these are released - which I think/hope is very soon. :)

If they are as good as their Pirate and Cowboy ranges then the figs have great detail as well and are closer to 18mm vs 15mm. Those are tempting but I'll read the rules first when they arrive and see what the local gang want to paint/play.

What about forces that can be fielded? Is it possible to field a solely Indian warparty?

2 quick questions.
When will the Muskets and Tomahawks be available on the GB site?
Moving the other direction, most of the questions have been on the games compatibility with 15mm. What about going up to 40mm? I have a set ea of the 40mm HLBS FIW, and am looking for a good set of rules to use them with.

hi Chaps

we will have a new section of the forum dedicated to Muskets and Tomahawks where we'll deal with rules questions etc so I'll lock this thread once I've answered to questions below

Yes you can, you can also have Indians acting as scouts in other lists

GB won’t be selling the rules, all distribution will be handled by North Star miniatures

http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=132&page=1

not sure who’ll be selling it elsewhere then the UK but will find out

and the rules will work fine at 40mm, all figures are single based so all you may have to do is play around with ranges etc

Cheers

Mike
